I am a committed, creative and resourceful Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist who provides an engaged and confidential therapeutic service for young people of various ages and backgrounds as well as for parents, teachers, and adult clients. 

I hold an MA in Integrative Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and Counselling from Terapia Centre in London, where I also teach and supervise students, and am a full clinical member of the UK Council of Psychotherapy (UKCP). I am currently in advanced training as a clinical supervisor specialising in group process at the Institute of Group Analysis in London. My earlier academic background, parts of which I also integrate in my therapeutic work, is Sociology (PhD from Warsaw University and Graduate School for Social Research, Polish Academy of Science) and Contemporary Art Theories (Goldsmiths University, London). Please contact me for references, if you feel it could help you decide whether you want to use my support. 

I have worked with:

anxiety - depression - low self-esteem - self harm - neglect - complex trauma -  dissociation - anger issues - family conflict - ill siblings - attachment disorders - behavioural problems - obsessive-compulsive presentations.

Informed by advances in neuroscience, developmental studies and trauma research, I flexibly integrate it all in my work, together with elements of gestalt, play and art therapy, psychoeducation, and cognitive/dialectical behavioural therapy (CBT/DBT), depending on the specific needs of each of my clients.

I add to this mix of skills my own playful energy and deep and patient engagement that helps me connect even with very anxious and withdrawn young people who need emotional support, but find trust and relating a challenge.

I see my clients in two locations at Kensal Rise (NW10) and Finchley Central (N3). Trusting social responsibility, I operate a sliding scale of fees depending on income and nature of treatment, and am happy to discuss it all by phone or email.
